#' Return the data by feature filtering 
#'
#' @description 
#' Identify and select a subset of outcome-associated or predictive features in 
#' the training data based on filtering methods. Return the same set of selected 
#' features for the test data if it is available. 

#' @param trainData The input training dataset. The first column is the label.  
#' @param testData The input test dataset. The first column is the label.   
#' @param FSmethod Feature selection methods. Available options are 
#' c(NULL, 'positive', 'wilcox.test', 'cor.test', 'chisq.test', 'posWilcox', 
#' or 'top10pCor'). 'positive' is the positively outcome-associated features
#' using the Pearson correlation method. 'posWilcox' is the positively 
#' outcome-associated features using Pearson correlation method together 
#' with 'wilcox.text' method. 'top10pCor' is the top 10% of   
#' outcome-associcated features. This is helpful when no features can be 
#' picked during stringent feature selection procedure.
#' 'posTopCor' selects the number of most correlated features.
#' @param cutP The cutoff used for p value thresholding. It can be any value 
#' between 0 and 1. Commonly used cutoffs are c(0.5, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01, etc.). 
#' The default is 0.1. If FSmethod = "posTopCor", cutP is then defined as 
#' the number of most correlated features with 'fdr' = NULL.
#' @param fdr Multiple testing correction method. Available options are 
#' c(NULL, 'fdr', 'BH', 'holm' etc). 
#' See also \code{\link[stats]{p.adjust}}. The default is NULL.
#' @param FScore The number of cores used for some feature selection methods.
#' If it's NULL, then no parallel computing is applied.

#' @return Both training and test data (if provided) with pre-selected 
#' features are returned if feature selection method is applied. 
#' If no feature can be selected during feature selection procedure, then the 
#' output is NULL. 
#' @details Parallel computing is helpful if your input data is high  
#' dimensional. For 'cutP', a soft thresholding of 0.1 may be favorable than 
#' more stringent p value cutoff because the features with small effect size 
#' can be taken into consideration for downstream analysis. However, for high 
#' dimensional (e.g. p > 10,000) data, many false positive features may 
#' exist, thus, rigorous p value thresholding should be applied.  
#' The choice of feature selection method depends on the characteristics of 
#' the input data.
